There are some highlights: “The White Shoes” is a slow-tempo jam that somewhat works as a catharsis, while “The Middle Finger” is a whizzing trip to a purple-hue existence. It’s connection with The Mixtape About Nothing and More About Nothing is mostly in the title. Although it’s better than The Gifted, The Album About Nothing too often drags. Conveying the latter was a clear focus on this effort-the go-go influences are stripped down here. The story leading up to Wale’s fourth album - The Call and the depression leading up to it - are already well-known threads. The Album About Nothing continues that tradition with its mix of good production and slack perspective, interrupted by inconsequential Jerry Seinfeld cameos. None of their recent releases were anything to write home about. Again, very unlucky, but let’s not let MMG off the hook.
The Album About Nothing walked on by after all that, like a kid arriving late to the Jordans line in December. Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterflydropped, Earl Sweatshirt’s I Dont’ Like S**t, I Don’t Go Outside surprised and Action Bronson’s Mr.
This time around, Wale got overshadowed for an entire month.
